Hamilton Tank Top
This classic tank top design from Pat Menchini has panels of narrow, irregular chain-like cables, separated by a wide section of reverse stocking stitch with a single-stitch knit column up the centre. The patterning is worked on the front and back, with ribbed edgings. Pat has used King Cole’s Chunky Tweed, an easy-care blend of acrylic, wool and viscose which comes in 15 contemporary colours.
Worked bottom up and with full written instructions.
Available as a single digital download from the designer, or as an ebook from the magazine.
